    About this ebook

    Courage. Patriotism. Sacrifice. Those words were rendered meaningless to Erik when his brother Howard returned home from Afghanistan in a flag-draped casket.

    Months later, Erik finds the gentle words of Howard’s Marine Corps buddy, Greg, soften his pain. After losing a limb in combat, Greg understands the raw sorrow of loss. Erik and Greg spend a soul-searching night together and find the unexpected in each other's company.
